Vondelparkbuurt-West, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Zocherstraat sits in the Vondelpark neighbourhood, a stone's throw from the park itself. At 96 m² it's a good size for the area, and with an A energy label it's unusually efficient for a 1916 building. The asking price of €975,000 is 22% above the neighbourhood average of €796,821, which is partly explained by the larger floor area, 33% more than the typical 72 m² in the area. Compared to other apartments in Amsterdam, the price is on the high side, but the combination of space and efficiency is rare here.

About Zocherstraat 5H, Amsterdam
The asking price is 22% above the neighbourhood average of €796,821, but the apartment is also 33% larger than the typical 72 m² in the area. The A energy label is unusual for a 1916 building, which adds value. Compared to other apartments sold recently in the neighbourhood, the price per m² is in line with the market, so it's priced keenly for what it offers.
It's a very urban, lively area with a high density of people and amenities. The population is mostly young adults and singles, with few families. The Vondelpark is just a couple of streets away, and there are plenty of shops, restaurants and cafés within walking distance. It's a sought-after location for those who want to be in the heart of Amsterdam.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient for a home built in 1916. This means heating costs are likely to be relatively low, and the home is well-insulated compared to many older properties in the area. In the neighbourhood, only about 26% of homes have label A, so this is a strong point.
The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle.
There are several primary schools within walking distance. Brede School Annie M.G. Schmidt is about 300 m away, OBS Corantijn is around 500 m, and De Kleine Nicolaas is about 750 m. For secondary education, the nearest school is about 1.3 km away.
The neighbourhood has a very high address density, indicating excellent urban connectivity. The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, but trams and buses are likely to be nearby given the central location.
